Summer dress

Although this looks like a skirt and tee, it's actually a summer dress. How easy (and feminine!) to wear all the time, from picnics in the park to romantic dinners--and you could just stuff it in a suitcase for traveling. Wouldn't you love to live in it this summer?

Very cute! I like the green one. Of course, I'm pretty sure I could make this myself from Target components for about 1/5 the price. :-) Fortunately I DO think it would look pretty good on me, but I also think that you have to be quite tall and thin to pull it off. Otherwise, it would just look dumpy.

How perfect! I adore maxi skirts and simple white T's. I made myself a deal and every time I have completed 6 one hour workouts I get to buy myself a new piece of clothing. So on Friday I'm ordering the Agave.

:) Simple, comfy and looks perfect for a nice leisurely weekend in the city. Well that is once the weather warms up. Too bad I can't pull off the maxi skirt thing. I'm 5'6-ish and although I know i'm not a complete shorty I feel like one when I try them on...

I LOVE this! Although I think I might try to create the ensemble myself to save some money. The pink one is very cute. Anyone know the best place to find inexpensive, good, comfy maxi skirts that look like this?

Oh, those dresses are so easy to wear!! Really lovely!! Last year I was lucky enough to pick one quite similar at HM summer sales for only 10 euros, it is knee high with a black and white striped top and black bottom with pockets. Comfortable and yet elegant. I just looove it!!

Love this! I'm really intrigued by the green...but would you blend into the grass? Haha These would be so perfect for traveling. I was just talking about maxi dresses and skirts on the blog! Love the look!

I read the description again, and unfortunately, it says that the bodice is "semi-sheer." WHY does it have to be so? Why can't it just be a nice thick t-shirt? I think if you're totally flat-chested you can pull off the semi-sheer, but when you have any kind of chest (let alone any chubbiness some people may have) sheer fabric adds to a "less than pulled together" look. I've found this with "tissue tees" which have been popular, as well as just cheaper tees where they use less expensive fabric. It just doesn't look good on my larger chest.

Here's to never parting with your old clothes! Maxi skirts/dresses have been in for the last couple years, but I'm stayed far, far away... at age 35, the memory of maxi skirts in the '90s is just too fresh. I can't believe they're in again already. But this post inspired me - I posted a couple criticisms of THIS particular dress, but I think the concept is a good one. I especially like the fact that unlike when you wear a separate t-shirt with a skirt, the top will stay smooth and hang how you want it to, despite moving around, sitting down and standing up, etc.. Anyway, I recently emptied out a storage unit, and I actually have three maxi skirts already, from the 1990s! In perfect condition. I may take my black jersey skirt and combine it with a cap-sleeved t-shirt of a thicker material, and make a dress like this.

I can't believe two colors of this are sold out first in size large. I have to say this would be most unflattering on anyone who wears size large.

Totally excited to get this skirt in green. It will look great with my black hair. The only concern I have is that I am short so hopefully it will not drag. But a small price to pay for this clean look for summer.
